Conan Shares News Of The Death Of Robin Williams

Conan, Will Arnett and Andy Richter react to the news of comic legend Robin Williams' passing.

TranscriptCONAN: This is unusual and
upsetting but we got some news
during the show that Robin
Williams has passed away and by
the time we?-- we tape these
shows a few hours early and by
the time you see this on T.V.
I'm sure that you'll know.
I'm sorry to anyone in our
studio audience that I'm
breaking this news.
This is absolutely shocking and
horrifying and so upsetting on
every level.
We're at the end of the show and
it just felt like we needed to
just acknowledge?-- obviously we
don't know much yet.
We know this has happened and
we're absolutely stunned.
Stunned to get this news and I
know that everybody here?--
we've all worked with Robin over
the years.
Andy: He was an amazingly kind
and generous person and it's got
to be a terrible time for his
family.
Our thoughts go out to him.
WILL ARNETT: As funny as he was, he truly
was one of the all time greats.
He was even better as a person.
He was even more fantastic.
He was just the loveliest, one
of the kindest guys that I've
ever worked with.
Such a soft, warm emotionally
sweet guy, and it's a major,
major loss for everybody.
Like Andy said, our hearts go
out to his family.
Conan: We're just processing
this information literally right
at this moment and so we are
thinking of Robin's family.
We're thinking about everybody
who he touched around the world
throughout his life and thinking
about Robin tonight.
There's really not much else to
say.
By the time we're back tomorrow
we'll know more.
Everyone will know more, but
we're so very sorry to have to
report this to anybody who is
hearing it for the first time.
We are going to end our show now
and thank all my guests and good
night and God bless Robin Williams.
Good night.
